I just found this and thought I'd read part of it before I slept. A few hours later I've read this and the sequel and am no longer sleepy. Thanks for sharing such an interesting tale! I like Kris and Jack's relationship. They can really depend on each other. Somewhere I've read another story, and i don't recall the name of it, with Kris and Jack in a similar situation. Kris has to hide Jack while he recovers in that one. Is it possibly yours also? if so, please let me know where it's posted. I really enjoy your writing, and hope you'll keep doing it for a long time to come.

I'm wondering why it took Teal'c and Sam 25 minutes to run 1.2 miles (2 klicks)...they could have slowly jogged it in 10. Just say in'.

I like it a lot. Good storyline. Looking forward to reading the sequel. :)

Another good story

Good story. Too bad so few people have reviewed. Just saw another story related to this one. I'm off to read it.

Good Job. Tracy

Well at first I was in love with the story... Up to the part where u hooked him up with this Kris... I mean I know tht not everyone is a jack Sam shipper but in mind it was Sam with him... Plus it was a bit ooc for jack in parts n Sam: she wasn't the least nit worried n neither was Daniel, not reasonable that Janet was the most worried... But I adored the first part with jack holding on to Danny and the suspense of him taking the pill... Also I think Daniel shoul have been blaming himself for Jack's situation a bit more, it's only suitable for his character

This is one of my favorite stories in fandom! Glad to see it posted here!

hmm I like the term Hard Candy Colonel :-p very well done I quite enjoyed it

good story

Great Story! I really enjoyed it!

I liked this story very much; uhm is "Andromeda Silver"

your ex or something? (Wow a *3rd* year forensic student; what an honor to have such a reader! ::rolling my eyes::) I echo many of your reviewers comments when I say I also liked Kris very much; it was very believable to me that a military nurse could form such a friendly and professional relationship with Jack, and that this would permit both revelation and sharing of that Ops part of him we generally only get hints of. The kiss for me was sweet not sexual; very believable, not a problem for either character's sense of professionalism or ability to become friends with each other; nice! Your stories can be challenging to read when they are in progress; the many plot twists and characters can be confusing if a reader has to wait between chapters - I have noticed when I read your complete stories, it's not an issue for me. You have become one of my top favorite authors :)

Loved this story, especially the original character Kris Martin. Very believable Jack O'Neill. Excellent dialogue and transitions, very nice plot. I hope to see a sequel or two.

I couldn't wait for this story to end it was so dull! Kris doesn't really add to the story at all, and she coincidently has the "perfect" combination to attract Jack. The fact that both you and she are nurses and obviously have a crush on Jack makes me think that Kris is merely a tool to insert yourself into the Stargate universe. This story is dangerously close to being a Mary-Sue. I even tried reading the sequel to this to see if there actually was a legitimate reason for you to win an award for it. I was even more bored with the story and gave up about a quarter of the way through it. Those judges must have much lower standards for grammar and being true to canon than I do.

The characters seem out of whack-they're far too "cute" and feminine. What I'm saying is that it's insanely obvious that a woman wrote the story. It's as if all the characters were filtered and distorted in your mind. They act how you want them to, not how they would normally. Jack would never, ever in a billion years, even if Kris was his soul mate, jeopardize his career in the Air Force by fraternizing with officers under his command. His job is far too important to him. Janet is extremely flighty, anxious, and clueless, far from her usual firm, calm, intelligent self. That and her last name is "Fraiser", not "Frazier".

You're missing commas everywhere and throw exclamation points in randomly as if to get the reader to be excited about something in this drivel. Hint: it doesn't work. You don't start paragraphs in the right places. You drag out the "is Jack going to take the tainted meds?" situation for far too long. By what seemed like the third page of that garbage I wanted to scream, "Just take the damn things already so we can move on!"

On the sequel to this: none of the NCIS characters so far seem in character either, except possibly Gibbs. Kate just is a dumb bitch, I'm guessing because you don't like her. Granted she's sharp in tongue, but that doesn't make her dull in her wits or a harpy. Besides that, there is no reason for the Virginia-based NCIS team to be all the way out in Colorado considering that the NCIS has branch offices elsewhere in the country. NCIS would send agents from a far closer office than Virginia, unless the crime had been committed in their jurisdiction (their territory, i.e. Virginia). Since it wasn't, you have a huge incongruency in your plotline. I know what I'm talking about since I am a third year forensics student. Also, the way Gibbs and Kate go about investigating the tainted medication is extremely arbitrary and has no bearing on their case. It's as if they're investigating the "mystery of Cheyenne Mountain" rather than the accidental (?) deaths. No real agent would conduct an investigation like that. So far they haven't even touched the subject of the tainted meds and instead are focusing on the departmental romances and Jack's history. If this were real, Gibbs and Kate would be fired or at least on probation.

And why in the hell would the SGC condone using experimental drugs on their patients anyway?

You really need an editor to fix your grammar mistakes, trim the fat on your overly long story, and to get the characters into their correct voices. And I believe you're lying about your award or you got it from a disreputable source.

Okay, I'm finally up and around enough to be up at the computer reading and through some odd twist of fate I get pointed at this story. I admit, the description is not the sort that catches my attention and under ordinary circumstances I probably would not have read this story.

May I say that would have been entirely my lost. What a splendid story. I generally don't enjoy original characters, but Kris is wonderful. (I have a soft spot for nurses my mother and paternal grandmother are/were both nurses and my my great aunt and maternal grandmother were both hospital administrators, so I have a deep appreciation for that calling and it is a calling not a job.) Your portrayal of Janet is just Grand. You have the team down really well, but I LOVE YOUR JACK!

Hard Candy Colonel - I think that is a phrase that will stay with me for a long time as a superior way of describing him. Thank you for entertaining me so throughly this afternoon/evening. Very nice work!
